Just a general comment, not to correct any in particular, but both here and in other places, I have seen people saying that Obama will not be staying in Blair House at all. In fact, he is staying there starting January 15.And, it is my understanding that, while Howard hadn't confirmed that he would be staying at Blair House, the invitation had been extended long before Obama ever requested that he be permitted to move in there early.

"It's what every other American does when they move"
Every other American doesn't require a team of Secret Service, easy access to the White House and easy access to people of high ranking importance. There is a lot Obama and his team will need to prepare before the 20th...I think it is in every American's best interest if we don't get in his way.

And they can get into their house on the 20th. If you buy a house, you don't get to move in until the closing. In this case, the closing is the 20th. If you want to start school early, you can get an apartment. It's what every other American does when they move. It's what my family will do when we move, if that's what we need to do.
